(Even with a backported kernel, you're not likely to get the GPU running without new Mesa, and possibly xorg driver) There seems to be quite a few reports of running Linux on the Y700. E.g. http://mashu.github.io/2015/12/19/Debian-Ideapad-Y700.html If you're fighting with wpa_supplicant doesn't that mean that the driver is working? Can you scan for access points?
